Yes it certainly does not the Yankees are sure to face hand pitching in four of the five games and right now Bronko Nagurski the world heavyweight wrestling titleholder places his newly won crown on the block against Gus Sonnenberg the old champion in the feature bout at the Oakland auditorium This will mark first appearance in Oakland since he won the title from Dean Detton at Salt Lake City four months ago Many calim Bronko is the strongest of the modern crop of bone twisters Don McDonald former Univer sity of California wrestling star of some years back will referee the match McDonald is considered the best mat referee in the business handled every important bout that has taken place for the past When 10 other 'iig at the to do the team Smooth acetylene torches easy and breezy this fabulous halfback who makes his local debut here Satur day alternjoon against California His 195 pounds and heavy build belie his speed but they belie his line crushing power and the awful beating he hands out weekly to his tacklers Corvallis they call Joe Gray a halfback because as Bud orrester the public relations man explained running mo tion is confined to the upper part of his HANDS OR EET? With this kind of a description in front of you first reaction is to remark: so the guy runs on his hands All such theories should be dis carded and I for one will lead a campaign to this end As a matter of cold fact whether or not Gray runs on his arms or feet is something his opponents cant determine exactly experienced grandstand with a bird's eye straighten out this matter for you You see this Gray Ghost is a master of a football art that is slowly decaying with the ages This is the so called the long poke out front and to tbe side when the tackler rears up close at hand then suddenly finds himself biting off a fresh 'ble of grass DEADLY QUICK KICKER Since Gray is some great shucks as a punter too and since fast with his toe on the to the pigskin his quick kicking off a short running formation is the kind of medicine that can kill off the best safety man in the business in cluding a couple of distinguished gentlemen by the names of Coffis and Bottari As a passer the Gray Ghost is good enough to get a cheer from the numerous mortal enemies he has made in opposition trenches the last few years In 1936 Oregon State made 17 touchdowns and eight of them came off the good right flipper of Mr mile: 3 Nubian Phantom Westside 2 Calif Red 5 Kennel worth At St Detroit 203 000 6 8 1 St Louis 201 004 7 11 3 McLaughlin Coffman and York Millsand Harshany THE BOYS and the girls of Loyola of the scendant of famed Statesman Calhoun south just help cheering for John Clay Calhoun captain and fullback and direct de The Gray Ghost Cracks Wise He's C's Ever" Capt Cody Little Gloria Insideout Swanky Crag Rock Black Vledft Menlo Merchant uturity: ee Laa Gold Dust Scappoose Profit 7 rcaipn Stepping Lad 5 16 Mike Andrews HEBRANK HUNTER CO Mil dred Hatrel and Catherine Bourg leads cheers International News photo (Continued from first sports page) Lazare 6 1 6 4 Tom Brown San rancisco Iwao Bando San Mateo 7 9 6 2 6 1 Hudson San rancisco Olson San rancisco 4 6 6 1 6 1 pevinson Los Angeles Por terfield Berkeley 7 5 6 3 SINGLES Lou Gates San rancisco Elsie Gable San rancisco 6 4 10 8 Dorothy Workman Los Angeles Laverne Kapps San rancisco 6 1 6 1 Dorothy Andrus Conn Gussie Claire San rancisco 7 5 8 6 SINGLES ae Portland Doug Im hoff Berkeley 6 1 3 6 6 4 Jones England Bernie Coghlan Los Angeles 10 8 4 6 6 3 Robert Riggs Los Angeles Roy De Giere Berkeley 6 2 6 4 Robert Harmon Ke neally San rancisco 6 0 6 2 Los cl ilerschel Hyde Martinez 6 3 6 1 Bill Doeg Los Angeles William Hongs Berkeley 4 6 Oakland d' Ben Neiden San krancteco 7 5 6 3 Charles Hare England Marcus Gordon Berkeley 6 2 6 2 Gottfried Von Germany Howard Blethen 8 6 2 7 9 fi 4 WOMEN'S DOUBLES and Marg Osborne Lona Cassidy and Connie Clark 6 2 Lenhart and Silva A Lirana and Horn default Umphred and Ann Harper Lou Gates and Ruth Dieguez 6 1 6 1 DOUBLES Joe Hunt and Riuc Prni and olsom 6 2 6 3 Oek Kovacs and Ed Amark William Hoogs and Massie 6 4 6 WAndShiT 1arf nd it Ilham Doeg and Charles Carr If Gmlniett and Neil Brown 6 2 6 Harman and Dan Roberts Riggs and Joe Hunt 6 4 6 4 George Rice and John Murlo Dr Crane and Rethorst 6 2 6 2 I Makano and Yamagis hi Gordon and Bon Neiden 6 1 mixed doubles' sborne and rank Kovacs Claue and Guilniette 6 2 64 Dawson and Charles Carr RoxieTl nVy ani Roberts 6 4 6 4 Stammers and Stratford Goenuner and A Ellis default Ingram and yr Jones Lew and A Tomlinson 6 2 6 0 Dearman and George Hughes and Gable 6 0 6 3 Ifenden and Coughlan' Connie Clark and Gordon 6 2 6 4 Lumbnd Delaford June HaneTn and Stringham 6 2 6 0 Henrotin and Joe Hunt Mar vin and Charles Sparrows 6 0 6 0 SINGLES Dr Kleinschroth Germany Ray Kline Berkeley 6 1 6 0 or left first they hit that kind with a canoe paddle Right now?
